* What is a guild? and what do you think the purpose of a guild is?

To me, a guild is a collection of like-minded players who share similar interests in the game or have similar goals. The purpose of a guild is to accomplish things that you could otherwise not do on your own or to otherwise improve on your interest(s) that made you join the guild in the first place.

* What do you think guilds used to be? Have they deviated from how they are now?

Guilds were cool. They actually used to mean something because there was a fair amount of loyalty among their members. That time has long since passed. However, active leaders make active and loyal guild members, and there aren't many active guild leaders. The ones who are active actually have members who wear their tags.

I'm not sure that they've deviated much. The current system allows for members to not be loyal. If anything, the player mentality towards joining one guild and sticking with it is what has changed.

* What should guilds be?

Relevant. There are very few servers that attempt to make guilds anything other than a quick way to chat with friends. UN has CW, which is actually pretty boring and really has no reward other than bragging rights. Other than that, there isn't much that I've seen for game play geared towards guilds.

* What type of guild do you find the most "fitting" for a guild?

Any type is fitting. As Luda stated, there are many types of guilds and reasons for joining. My problem with guilds does not lie within the different types, but with the fact that there is no guild loyalty, or any incentive for guilds to be active on most servers.
